Every Friday at rush hour a couple of cops are stationed at the beginning of my street to nab drivers who run the red light at the big intersection my street runs off of.
Since I've nearly been mowed down myself by people running red lights there and a few weeks ago a guy got killed by a driver running a red light, whether it's to make money for the city or not, I am glad they are stopping people and issuing tickets. Those who get ticketed may think twice before doing it again.
I agree. Running the red light is really dangerous.
But as long as we're on safety, let's get a little more specific about just that subject, in this instance in Texas.
Officer Smiley reported that he was aware that the Church has yet to get an occupancy permit. The building has yet to be certified as safe for occupancy.
Did officer Smiley enforce the law? Did he evacuate these 40 or so people from that dangerous situation, in accordance with the law? It was right in front of him. He knew it, he admits he knew it. But did he consider the safety of those 40 people? What did he do? He wrote a ticket to ONE person who was not in immediate danger nor a danger to anyone around him. Those cops had a choice: Protect 40 people in a building not certified as safe or write a traffic citation.
There just isn't any money in evacuating buildings. The protection of people was secondary to issuing a citation for a fine.
Kitty kat, if you do insist on having this conversation we will. Let's pick up where we left off last time.
In Little Kitty's Make Believe Police Handbook, police carry tasers because us mean old citizens don't let them carry pepper spray. Of course, this is just Kitty's bullshit version of things. In this story, once again we see officers who not only pepper spray, but tase too.
Kitty, you find anything yet to support your Make Believe Hanbook of super hero cop law?
